In pointing out provisions of the act and affirmative steps eligible men may tak e to avoid delin- quency, the FBI says that a viola- tion of the selective service act is a serious matter, since the act is designed to provide for the common defense by increasing the personnel of the armed forces and provide for their training. A wilful violator may be subjected to stringent penalties, including imprisonment up to five years, or a fine as high as $10,000, or both. Recently J. Edgar Hoover, direc- tor of the FBI, suggested, for the benefit of those not familiar with the requirements, observance of the following: Register promptly. Fill out and return y utr question- naire promptly. .' : Keep youd local board advised of your correct mailing address. Report for examination and in- duction when so ordered. Report' changes in your family status or occupation which may have a bearing on your classifica- tion. Always carry your registration certificate and classification notice on your person. If you have made an honest mis- take, talk it over with your local board. All male persons residing in the United States or its possessions be- tween the ages of 18 and 26 are re- quired to register. Persons becom- ing 18 must register within five days after their 18th birthday. Where investigation, reveals vio- lations of the selective service act, the facts will be presented to the proper United States attorney for a decision on prosecutive action. All registrants are cautioned against making false or fictitious registration. The possession of a fraudulently obtained, forged or al- tered classification notice or regis- tration certificate is also a viola- tion of the act. District Superintendent Will Preach At Methodist Church Rev. Wilbur L. Walton, superin- tendent of the Marianna district, will preach at the Methodist Church next Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, according to an announcement 'by Rev. Loyd Tubb, pastor. "Rev. Walton was appointed to the Marianna district at the June conference," said Rev. Tubb, "and this will be his first service at the Port St. Joe church. The people of our church are eagerly looking for- ward to his visit with us, and we extend a cordial invitation to all to join with us in the service Sunday evening." The first quarterly conference is to be held following the service. at Sumatra.

The budget is $33,- 150 more than the '49-50 budget and the levy is 2.7 mills more than the 14.5 village this year.

A group insurance plan was ap- proved by the board for county em- ployes and county officials, with the county paying a pro rata part (Continued on page 10) Not Guilty Verdicts Handed Down In Two Court Cases Two verdicts of not guilty-one directed by the court-were handed down Monday in trial sessions of the fall term of circuit court held in Wewahitchka. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of L. T. Mon- ford and Vernon Bowen, charged with the armed robbery of Les Gay of this city. In the case of John D. Simpson, charged with grand larceny, Judge E. Clay Lewis Jr., directed a ver- dict of not guilty. Leroy Hicks, also charged in connection with this case, was still at large after failing to appear for arraigmnet. Emmanuel Alday was to go on trial yesterday on a charge of first degree murder in the death, last May of Deputy Sheriff Mose Hill. -----k----- 'DOODLEBUG' HEARING IS AGAIN POSTPONED Word was received by The Star Thursday of last week too late for publication, that the hearing to be held August 31 in Apalachicola on discontinuance of the "Doodlebug" by the A. N. Railroad had been postponed again. but it is understood the train suf- fered cuts, bruises and minor lacer- ations which is taking some time to repair.

New Demonstration Agent for Gulf County Miss Emma Stevenson Succeeds Mrs. Revell, Who Resigned Due To III Health Miss Anna Mae Sikes of Talla- hassee, district home demonstra- tion agent for this area, announces the appointment of Emma Steven- son as home demonstration agent for Gulf county, succeeding Mrs. Wilma Revell, who resigned be- cause of ill health after serving as county demonstration agent for the past five years. Miss Stevenson, who began her duties Wednesday of last week, has been interested in home demonstra- tion work for many years. She was a member of the 4-H Club for seven years, serving in the capacity of lo- cal leader during her last year in high school, and was a member of the college 4-H Club for four years while attending Florida State Col- lege for Women, from which she graduated in 1945 with the degree of bachelor of science in home eco- nomics. She has served one year under an interne program set up in the state home demonstration office during which time she worked with vari- ous agents throughout the state. Following this, she was appointed assistant hone demonstration agent for Pinellas county and was later transferred to Polk county to serve in the same capacity. Last year Miss Stevenson re- signed to attend the University of Tennessee to do graduate work. With half of this work completed, she accepted a home economics teaching position in Plant City. At the close of the regular school year she was appointed to teach home economics in the summer recrea- tion program, and comes to Gulf county from that position. Prior to the appointment of Miss Stevenson, the job of Gulf county demonstration agent had been filled temporarily by Miss Elizabeth Hud- son, who is now teaching in Ap- opka. IK_ Rich's Curb Market Soon To Have New Quarters Work was started this week by E. J. Rich, owner of Rich's Curb Market, on a new building to be lo- cated on the corner of Williams Avenue and Third Street, directly back of his present business estab- lishment. The new store building, to be 85 by 60 feet, will be constructed of concrete blocks on a 90 by 150-foot lot, which will give parking space on three sides and the street side. Approximate cost of the struc- ture, which is being built under the supervision of C. Neidig, will be around $14,000. SERVICE OFFICER HAS MUMPS, NOT TO BE HERE TOMORROW Bill Linton, county service offi- cer, phoned us yesterday to state that he will not be at his usual stand in the Legion home tomor- row, and would we please put a no- tice to that effect in The Star. Upon inquiry, Bill divulged the startling fact that he had acquired a nifty case of mumps. VOLUME XIII '" I 1 1111 1 I --- _ ,, ----~-b - -- -~IC-~ Saints Take First Two Games and Play Third Here This Evening Defeating the Panama City Sea- hawks 11-1 and 6-5 for the best two- out-of-three games in the playoff/ of the Gulf Coast League to de- termine which teams would go into the final five-game series for the championship, the St. Joe Saints are now favored to emerge with the coveted flag over the Apalachi- cola Oystermen, who entered the final set-to by downing the Blounts- town Buccaneers in two straight games. In the opening game, played here Sunday, the proceedings w e r e started off with a brief speech by George Tapper, who announced that it was "Leonard Belin Day," a day on which "to pay honor 'to one of Port St. Joe's most outstanding athletes." Following George's intro- duction, Tommy Mitchell, on be- half of his team mates, presented Leonard with a handsome wrist watch as a token of their appreci- ation. Sunday's Game Apalachicola took a one-run lead in the third inning when Bennefield crossed the plate after he had made a single, went third on a long drive to left field and an error, and came home after the catch of Martin's high fly. The Saints, not to be outdone, made it 2-1 in the bottom of the third when Cowart was walked, Calhoun singled, Lambert was safe on a sacrifice and Cowart was safe at home when Martinez, the Cuban pitcher, tossed the ball over his cather's head. Calhoun chalked up number two when he came in after Price's fly to center was caught. St. Joe made three more in the sixth and one in the eighth, mean- while holding the visitors score- less, although they threatened in the seventh. Calhoun started on the mound for St. Joe and was relieved by Jim Schantel in the first of the seventh. Martinez started for Apalachicola and was yanked in the sixth after three runs had crossed the plate, being replaced by Cottie Hendels. Wednesday's Game In the second game of the series, played Wednesday night at Apa- lachicola, the Saints shut out' the Oystermen 1-0 in a bitterly-fought contest. The single counter was scored in the fourth inning when Belin was walked, stole second af- ter two outs, and came home on a line single over second by Weis- enbach. It was a close decision by Um- (Continued on page 10) Moose Junior League Trophy Is To Be Presented Tonight Prior to opening of the ball game tonight, B. B.

JOE FLORIDA GARDEN NOTES PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB If you want to see something beautiful and quite out of the ordi- nary, do drive out to Mrs. George Paton's and see her gloriosa lily which is now in full bloom. It is the only one in St. Joe, so far as she knows, but it is so easy to grow and gives so much color at the end of the summer when there is little in bloom, that it should be more widely grown. The gloriosa roths- childiana, which is the scientific name of this lovely lily, is a native of Africa. The stems are weak, so the bulb should be set by a shrub for it to climb on. One bulb will practically cover a small shrub with blooms by the end of summer. Mrs. Patton has hers growing on a duranta. They are frequently planted by azaleas. They should be set out from Janu- ary to April and they will give blooms from June to October. They do best in a sunny or semi-shady location. Though they will grow SATURDAY DOUBLE FEATURE PROGRAM --- FEATURE NO. 1 -- FEATURE NO. 2 --- with practically no care, a liberal feeding when growth is well under way will be appreciated. Propaga- tion is by tuber division or by off- sets. Mrs. Patton's lily is crimson-col- ored, margined with yellow and broadening to a yellow base. The new hybrids can be obtained in a variety of colors, from cream thru all shades of pink, purple and red. She says the blooms keep well when cut, so are excellent for flower ar- rangements. Question: When can I transplant amaryllis bulbs? Answer: The bulbs may be trans- planted at any time if a clump of dirt large enough to preserve the root system is moved with the bulb. If bulbs are to be bared and stored, fall is the best time for transplant- ing. Attend Funeral In Georgia Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

An editorial in the Palatka Daily News in re- gard to speed boats racing up and down the wa- terways of the state strikes us as particularly ap- priate, especially in the matter of the intracoastal canal. The. editorial says: "You don't have to be an old-timer to remember when you could putt-putt up Dunn's Creek, the Oklawaha or the St. Johns River without taking your life in your hands. To- day when you take to the river roads you are in as .much danger as you are on the highway.

Or if you are unwise enough to anchor near a sharp turn in the river, or have to stop there to refill your motor, you stand a good chance of being sliced in two pieces by one of these speed 'demons of the waterways.

If you've been wondering why Ken Brodnax has been going about with the toe cut out of one of his shoes we can reliably inform you that he was bitten by a redbreast. . Seems Ken, an inveterate fish- erman, was dunking worms last week on a broiling hot day and, in order to keep a bit cooler, he took off his shoes and poured about an inch of water in the bottom of his boat. A large redbreast bream he caught, while flopping around in the water, took a bite at Ken's toe, probably in the belief that it was some new form of bait. ... We're still wondering why Ken didn't bite back at the varmint. We make it quite a regular habit when going over to that section of the business district between 3rd Street and 5th Street to meander through the Danley Furniture Com- pany store it saves walking around the block. .. We wouldn't blame Manager Wayne Buttram a bit if he should stick up a "No Trespassing" sign on his back door facing the rear door of The Star office. When Charlie Guilford overturned his dairy truck last Friday morn- ing, he said he not only saw stars, but also the Milky Way. Saw Gene Austin of Apalachicola out at the ball game Sunday, and We hadn't heard Ed Pridgeon Jr., at the ball game Sunday, he's really looking good better talking of his hunting dog in re- than we've seen him look for the cent months, and so we asked him i a ast four or five vYears. He said what had become of it. Ed told us that that there houn' dawg was so intelligent that when he showed him a board on which to stretch a possum skin, the dog would go out and catch a possum whose hide would exactly fit the board. How- ever, said Ed, the dog saw the fam- ily ironing board on the back porch one day, took a good look at it, and hasn't been seen since. We've never tried to eat a pos- sum, but a lot of people claim they are excellent. But speaking of meat, and other foods, did you ever stop to think about where your meat and other stuff comes from, and how infinitely complex living has become? In the early days of this country feeding the family was, in some respects, a relatively simple matter. The pioneers grew practically everything they needed. If a man wanted some meat, he took his rifle, went out into the woods and shot a deer or a bear, 'that for 20 years he'd been fishing with a cast net, but that the doctor had informed him he'd have to cut it out, so now he has to fish with a pole and worms. ... Personally, he's welcome to fishing with a cast net. We tried it once-and once was a great sufficiency. We picked up the net, started to twirl it about over our head, and first thing we knew, all those little lead weights on the perimeter started whacking us on the noggin. Bet a phren- ologist would have gone crazy try- ing to read all those bumps.

JOE, GULF COUNTY, FLORIDA PAGE SEVEN Health Board Has Vital Knowledge of Gulf Hurricanes Will Be Useful In Event That 'Total War' Comes To Florida Experience which Florida State Board of Health personnel have gained in fighting, hurricanes will prove valuable in the event "total war" ever comes to this state, says David B. Lee, the health agency's chief sanitary engineer. "Any state which can learn how to withstand the fury of a hurri- cane as well as Florida has done in the past 20 years can learn how to stand up to any other disaster," he says. Lee is chairman of a civil defense committee which is preparing a re- port for the state civil defense councilon what the agency can do to protect the civilian population in the event of atom bomb raids, bac- teriological or biological warfare. "We do not mean to scare the people by talking about the possi- bilities of such forms of warfare," says Lee. "We believe, rather, that Florida residents will be reassured to know that the state board of health and other organizations and agencies, such as the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the medical, dental and nursing professions and the blood banks are all actively planning for counter-measures in the possibility of total war. "Such action will help to ease the uncertainty of living in a world which might explode again into a global war. Work of organizing an adequate civil defense program is under way ,and we are being guided by the old axiom that it is better to be prepared for the worst and hope for the best." Lee pointed out that state board of health personnel have had "valu- able experience" in coping with medical and sanitation problems arising from hurricanes in the past. "We learned how to do something about protecting the people from hurricanes," he said, "and we are equally confident that we can de- vise protective measures against undue loss of life in other types of disasters." Another bright spot in the civil defense picture in Florida is the state's main type of water supplies. "Most of our municipalities," said Lee, "get water from artesian wells and should water in reservoirs be contaminated from any source, they can be cut out and clean, safe wa- ter pumped directly from under- ground sources through existing distribution systems."

He said that the so- ciety's campaign to make every doctor's office a cancer detection center will receive impetus from the article. The article, "How To Prevent 100,000 Cancer Deaths a Year," de- scribes the effectiveness of a pro- gram begun in Hillsdale county, Michigan, in 1948. It emphasizes the importance of individual physi- cians performing careful cancer ex- amination, stating: "If every one of the nation's 120,000 doctors would start looking with concen- trated determination for early and curable cancer-and if every man and woman would co-operate by asking for a periodic cancer exami- nation-we could cut the death rate in half. Not 10 years from now, not even next year, but overnight." These figures are borne out by the experiment in Hillsdale county, When Hillsdale shocked by its high cancer death rate-decided to do something about it, the doctors called in four lecturers from the University of Michigan to give re- fresher courses in cancer detec- tion. Then, aided by community leaders, they saw to it that people learned that their doctors were cru- sading against cancer and that com- plete examinations were available at the same cost as any other phy- sical examination. The article lists these results, to- taled by Hillsdale physicians after the first two years of the plan: "They had examined 1,721 patients and found 65 cases of cancer. One- third were in the early stage-pre- cisely 33.8%. Another 29.2%, nearly three out of ten, ,were only moder- ately advanced." McKnight says the Hillsdale plan contains two of the ingredients that are needed for cancer control in -Gulf county-public alertness and responsibility a mon g physicians who keep abreast of current diag- nostic and treatment methods. "While waiting for our research scientists to probe the mysteries of ,cancer," he said, "we can save lives now-today-if we can make every doctor's office in Gulf county a de- tection center."

AS ADVERTISED I'N LIFE develop. Strong, independent and loyal, they are ready to do their ut- most in anything which is asked of them for the good and preservation of the land they love. And it should be reassuring to all to know that these men, with their knowledge of crops and' crop pro- duction, are ready to throw all their efforts into a great and energetic drive to produce the food and other agricultural products that are or may be needed by America in what- ever crisis that might arise. They and thousands of other far- mers all over this great land are ready. As in World War II, as in all danger periods in American his- tory, they are staunchly loyal and eager to help, to do their part. Dur- ing World War II they produced millions of tons of food, they broke all production records, they pro- duced more food than any other country in the world in the history of the world. From their fields and flocks and herds and forests came a great outpouring of food and other agricultural products that made it possible for this country and her allies to emerge victorious. Without that great production, victory would not have been pos- sible, for food is necessary, funda- mental-the most essential of all products for war or peace. The food and other things that American farmers produced gave the people of America and the peoples of many other countries the strength that was needed for victory. Farmers of Florida and every other state are hoping that therb will not be another world-wide con- flict such as World War II-are hoping for peace and good will in the world-but they are prepared to do all they can, and they can do much. if they are called on again for another great herculean effort such as the one they made from .1939 through 1945. In such times as these, it is good for every American to know that farmers are ready and eager to do their great share.

He was escorted from the field by police officers for his own safety. Eddie Meharg went the route for the Saints on the hill, as did Coe for the Oystermen.
